I've been playing Cold dot trickster in ssf for about 2 months now and I'm about to push it to its limits. I probably hit around 500,000 dps from the best builds of the prototype on PoE ninja without a few luck bugs or gear crafting.
I really want to go out. How I actively hate this build. It's a lot of buttons with pretty bad clarity. I have to melee everything and that seems like a lot of work. Can anyone recommend a crazy build while still being able to do 80-90% Crucibles and Expeditions (Master Farm Mechanic).
It's best to avoid chaos, but if it's too hard, I'll do what I can. I have ~10 divs and exal and basically unlimited essence/harvest essence and a few unique varieties to choose from (asenath's for boom).
Currently at the top of the list is the ek abyss stacker build, but I've heard the shroud drop rate is terrible. I am also considering a precision stacked vase because I have oskarm, obscurantis and can cultivate a transcendental spirit.
Scareus replied as follows. I'm a huge fan of Abyss Jewel Stacking and played Spark Hierophant using this mechanic with Heatshiver and CotB and it was top notch. Obviously this construct or something similar would be difficult in SSF.
I haven't played much Trickster, but SST is really strong, especially if you can get emperor vigilance. I don't like the skill's target and required accuracy compared to EK, but that's personal preference.
In my humble opinion, the Frostblades Trickster is absolutely top notch. It doesn't need a Heatshiver (although it's amplified by it), pretty much anything can be done on its own, and it has enough flexibility that you can stick with the ones that are ideal for SSF. For example, I didn't know where to start crafting tri-ele claws, so I ended up using Vanustra from the divine cards that dropped, which is still a pretty good weapon to get Lycia into the Sanctum .
Honorable mentions:
The ice trickster whispered. You don't need 6L, you can use Cyclone-CwC to map it and replace it with the boss. It turns into an INT stacker but it's solid but your computer may not be happy with your graphics load. Obviously this requires Whispering Ice, but I think the map div is farmable and it's a pretty common thing.
Spark scammer. This is kind of a range because in SSF everything is theoretically doable, but Spark is not as powerful as before due to the loss of projectile duration and speed. This will require speed and projectile duration on your plants and buds, but it should still work pretty well.
Lightning Conduit + Storm Brand/Orb of Storm Trickster. This work is an absolute unity. Pillars and defenders were faced off thanks to a crazy and high damage ES leech. The LC has been nerfed since it was introduced, but it's still pretty strong and you can craft some cool mechanics by applying the Double Storm sign to enemies and can basically use LC. It doesn't claim any uniqueness, although Thunderfist Prototypes, Doryanis are really good, they are unnecessary and can't happen in SSF.
